The PGA Tour has confirmed in a statement that Vijay Singh will not be suspended from the game for using deer antler spray.

Singh, who was inducted into the Hall of Fame in 2005 and is a winner of 34 Tour titles, admitted earlier this year in an interview with Sports Illustrated to using deer-antler spray but was unaware that it could contain a banned performance-enhancer connected to human growth hormone.

But the three-time major champion, golf clubs for sale who has won more tournaments in his forties than any other golfer in history, has now been cleared of a doping violation on appeal.

PGA Tour commissioner Tim Finchem said that Singh had initially been sanctioned by the Tour, titleist ap2 712 irons then appealed the sanction. Singh was consequently cleared because the status of deer antler spray had been changed by the World Anti-Doping Agency.
